DOCX to HTML

Turn a Word document into clean, semantic HTML you can paste into a website, CMS or email tool — headings stay headings, lists stay lists, tables stay tables, and images are embedded in the file. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with the Mammoth engine; your document is never uploaded.

The converted document will appear here — a live preview first, with the raw HTML one tab away.

For bloggers, marketers and developers — Word drafts into web-ready markup without the paste-mess.

DOCX to HTML — Convert Word Documents to Clean HTML guide

Convert Word .docx documents into clean, semantic HTML in your browser: headings, paragraphs, bold and italic, lists, tables, links and images are mapped to proper HTML elements — not the tangled markup Word itself exports. Preview the result, copy the HTML into your CMS, or download it as a file. Your document never leaves your device.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose or drop a .docx file and the conversion runs automatically. The preview shows the document as a reader will see it; switch to the HTML code tab to inspect the exact markup.
  2. Use the options and convert again if you need them: skip empty paragraphs for tighter output, and add custom style-map lines if your document uses Word styles that should become specific elements (a Quote style becoming a blockquote, for example).
  3. Copy the HTML straight into WordPress, Ghost or any CMS — or download it as an .html file, either clean for a CMS or with readable article styling as a standalone page.

A worked example

A press release drafted in Word: convert it here, copy the HTML into the website’s editor, and the headline is a real H1, the quotes are paragraphs and the contact table stays a table — no font tags, no mso- classes, no fifteen nested spans to clean up by hand.

How it works

The converter is Mammoth, the open-source library built specifically for this job: instead of mimicking Word’s page layout, it reads the document’s structure and style names and maps them to semantic HTML — Heading 1 to h1, List Bullet to ul/li, tables to table elements — and embeds images as data URIs so the HTML works anywhere. Anything it cannot map is listed in the conversion notes under the preview.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just use Word’s "Save as HTML"?

Word exports HTML designed to round-trip back into Word: it is bloated with proprietary classes and inline styles that fight any website’s design. Mammoth produces the opposite — minimal semantic markup your site’s CSS can style.

What happens to my images?

They are embedded directly in the HTML as data URIs, so the output is a single self-contained file that displays anywhere. For very image-heavy documents that makes a large HTML file; a CMS media library may serve you better there.

Will my formatting survive exactly?

Structure and emphasis survive — headings, bold, italic, lists, tables, links. Exact fonts, sizes and page layout do not, by design: the web page’s own styles should decide presentation.

What are the conversion notes?

Mammoth reports Word features it mapped differently or skipped — an unusual style, an exotic element. They are informational; the preview always shows the true result.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser; your documents never leave your device.
